Religious nut supervisor story

I (18M) have been working at a non-union electrical company for the last six months (since March) as an electrical trainee. My first ever supervisor (who I sometimes work with now and then), is a super nice guy (I’m gonna call him Kevin- he’s about 23-24M), but he gets on my nerves at times. He’s a hardcore Seventh-Day Adventist, and he does a lot of things that I think are unprofessional: telling me I can’t celebrate Halloween because it’s “the Devil’s birthday party”- telling me not to eat pork or mix meat and dairy (he literally got upset with me because I was eating a bag of pork rinds on my break), got mad at me for working on a Saturday “it’s the sabbath, you shouldn’t be working then!” and he threatened to send me home because I said “Jesus Christ!” after getting shocked by accident.

Him: “I’m agnostic too, because I don’t know for certain we can get this work done in two hours!”

Me: “I’m gonna get back to work now,”
